3DS KeyFor other tiers, pledge $15 to have a 3DS key.The reason of $15 [3DS] instead of $10 [PC/Android] is the cost of eShop code generation.

New TierWe've also added a brand-new tier: Explorer!

Heart the insane challenges in a game? There you go! In Explorer, you will have the access to all 24 special weapons. Same rules apply to the initial 12 special weapons in the Special Weapon Tier. It's different from the other 12. Instead of Find & Unlock permanently in Catch'em ALL, you need to face serious challenges to unlock them in the game. Something like "Break Bronze Sword 30 times" [patience is golden] or "Headshot 30 enemies in a row with M1" [high skill needed].

Catch'em All Backers can turn on this special weapon challenge mode as an option in the game to gain the achievement.

I have a question assuming you will reach funding for 3DS development (I'm sure you will):
If you are in the FCFS tier for early backers at $10 with the intent of getting an Android version of the game. Then add in $10 for the Explorer upgrade, and then add an additional $15 to get a 3DS key. Do you get your FCFS special weapon and the Explorer upgrade for you 3DS copy as well, or can you only get your additional upgrades on one platform?

Even if the code generation costs money I wish you would suck up the difference to have it cost the same as the PC version or at least only put a mark up of $2 instead of $5, 50% more than the PC version.

@James The special weapon HERO upgrade gives you same stuff as the more hero ($25) tier. The Explorer upgrade gives you that, as well as the weapons access, for just $10 extra instead of $5. Does that answer cover it for you?

@James Cartwright The major difference between the two tiers is which special weapons you can access. Either way, you'll get to unlock the 12 voted weapons, but the Explorer tier also lets you eventually unlock the 12 weapons that didn't win their votes - i.e. the Tesla Pistol, Acid Buster, etc. Whether you believe this to be worth it is your call, but if you ask me, more weapon options allow for more ways to enjoy the game.

So if you want access to those weapons too, then you should go for the Explorer tier (or add just $10 more, if you're in the FCFS tier already.)

Congrats on 3DS authorization, it's rare to see a kickstarter get accepted onto any of the major closed platforms during it's funding and it's fantastic too see ^_^

Also thank you heaps for allowing early backers to upgrade to higher tiers and keep their discount. I've backed over 80 projects most of which were games and I can't remember any doing that, I've given up a lot of early backer discounts to goto higher tiers :P. One question and one suggestion though

First the question, you said something about the all of the above in the steam tier not being accurate etc? if I add $20 to my $10 early backer pledge does that get me the steam pledge and the ability to unlock (with ingame achievements not automatically) all the weapons and heros?

As for the suggestion, I've tripled my pledge because I saw this in the comments, a lot of backers don't go back and read the front page of a project after they've backed they just read the official updates and a lot don't read the comments. I'd highly suggest you do a brief update to let the 1000 early backers know they can easily grab the higher rewards for a relatively small increase. It could add up to a lot of extra funding for you ^_^

@Alan "Adza" G @Kingslayer @Jelly Paladin @Rand Chua TL @Philip Thanks guys!!!!!!
@Matthew Ryan Oppel Yeah, after a serious dev meeting in Onipunks, we decided to give out 12 unelected special weapons with insane condition to unlock, kinda risky, but it looks you guys don't hate it. Thanks for your suggestion!
@James If you are in regular Special Weapon tier, you can increase your pledge by changing tier, you lose absolutely nothing. If you are in FCFS, you will only need to pledge the difference, that way, you don't lose your FCFS pledge for early backer and you can have one HERO already unlocked for you, or Explorer.
@All We will try our best to answer questions ;)

@Adrinata Will move some contents on the top of out KS page, we will do our best to boost the chance to hit 65535
@Marzi FCFS Special Weapon get the Special weapon for $10 instead of $20, so it's just normal to us to let FCFS backers just pledge the difference between regular Special Weapon and More Hero or Explorer.
AND, if your pledge exceeds $15, you will be legible for 3DS key, you will able to choose between 3DS and PC key. If you want an extra PC key [DRM-Copy comes with], you may need to pledge $10; $20 for Steam special thought.

@Eric @Jim @Mitchel @Michael @all Thanks guys! We can't make it without our backers!!
@Michael We can't tell the price of dev-kits due the NDA, but we confirm that we need to hit 65535 to secure the development for 3DS version of C-Wars. If we don't hit it, we will still develop it but with a significant delay for sure.

@Atticus Thanks dude!
@David Thanks! $5 upgrade is for FCFS Special Weapon only [$10 instead of $20]. Otherwise, you can just upgrade your pledge, you lose nothing. Steam tier is SOLO, that means, you can't combine it with others. The tier image was screwed, just ignore it, there shouldn't be "all-above" on it, we will change it Monday, artists were exhausted by working 10 days in a row so far, sorry about that.

Congratulations, everyone! =) It's been awesome seeing Kickstarter make some games happen on 3DS recently like this and Shovel Knight. I'm cool with PC and all, but a dedicated game system is definitely my preferred format!

To clarify, does the Explorer $10 upgrade for the Early Backers simply add the 12 extra weapons, or is it upgrading the FCFS backers to a cheaper version of the Explorer tier (meaning they get the extra hero too?) Just a little confused. I'd also like to see clarification about the $5 FCFS hero upgrade too. Thanks. :)

I See. As a roguelike enthusiast (and i'm probbably not the only one here) I find this tier really interesting, as having to unlock all from the beginning is a more satisfying experience in my opinion =D

@Dahel Thanks dude! Indeed, you have 24 in Explorer. But it's not easy to unlock them permanently. And you don't have the extra copy in Catch'em all.
@Mitchell If you choose $10 tier, you can pledge $5 more to have 3DS key instead of PC or Android. You will able to choose in a survey after KS campaign.

Wow, congrats guys on getting this far. Now, time to go forthe WiiU!!
If I understood correctly, the "Explorer" tier works like the Special weapon tier, but with all the 24 weapons instead of the 12 of the lower tier, is that it ?
